How is the "Linking Paper Clips" trick performed?

Linking Paper Clips

Linking paper clips-Fold a dollar bill into thirds, so that when folded there is a fold on the left first, and then a fold on the right. Take a few paperclips and place one around the first and second folds, an then place the other clips around the second and third folds. If you pull the upper corners away from you in a quick motion, the paper clips will link and drop to the floor.

If you fold into thirds you will only have 2 folds. Where's the 3rd fold?
